This place is spectacular. We got the eggplant chip appetizer, salmon momo, and gluten free sweet potato noodles. The eggplant chips were warm fritters with delicious eggplant inside and topped with wonderful spices (but not spicy). The Momos were tasty too, but the star of our dinner show was the GF sweet potato noodles with chicken. This was like pad Thai, only a million times better.

Rare to see such great vegetarian options! Loved the food and the atmosphere of the restaurant. The owners were very attentive and it was clear that they put a lot of care into the meal. The dumplings I ordered were full of flavor. I found myself savoring every bite. I was a little disappointed when I finished my entire plate because I knew I wanted more. The portion was perfect though and I managed to fill up and feel great and energized after the meal.

We ordered the noodle soup and momo soup and enjoyed them both. The broth is very flavorful. Also very reasonably priced. Service is quite slow, however, so just make sure you leave plenty of time for your meal.

Their food is good, but I don’t know why there were small flying bugs when I had dinner with my friends, which was kind of annoying.

With 20 years of history, cafe Tibet is a true gem. The owners were super friendly and prepared the food with love. The atmosphere felt like home (so don’t come to eat with a rush). Lentil soup was warm and comforting, and vegetarian momo soup was colorful with such a variety of vegetables. The melted cheese inside the momo was such a pleasant surprise.

Cafe Tibet was absolutely delicious and also inexpensive – what else could I ask for? I got a flavorful bowl of momo soup and it was massive, I wish I included a spoon for scale in the photo. Go support this restaurant!

Great experience – super kind staff and good for those w allergies/restrictions. Food is healthy and affordable. Flavor feels more homey; not super strong.

So looking from the outside and even once inside I was hesitant.
